Fall 2016

Practicum began in September and our lives have been stressful, over scheduled and hectic. We've been able to squeak in a few good things here and there, but I think it's safe to say that we were all more than ready for the semester to be over and to put 2016 to rest.

Rock 'n Rye tongue

A fifth grader AND a kindergartner!!

Someone got a new Ren Faire outfit for his birthday.

So jealous of his lashes.

Going through old memories and he still fits in his baby beanie, lol.

How is he 10?!

Blake's is always a blast.

Fundraisers are the best when your coworkers rock.

I choose him!

Got my Hep A vaccination after eating at Whole Foods.

Our lives are overly full of produce.

We were more than happy to be able to enjoy the late warm weather.

Steampunk Tarquin!

Harrison lost his first tooth.

We gave pumpkin carving a try for the first time in years and the kids actually touched goo!

2016 was a loooong year. Not necessarily bad (although I'm hearing from a lot of people that they found it incredibly difficult and shitty), just loooong. I blame Practicum. And work. And the kids being at a difficult stage at the same time. And I need a vacation...

Social - Overall I did not feel very social this year. I made some effort on occasion, but I don't know how much I'm sad about this or if I'll try to rectify it in the new year.
